Thanks for your answer,how long did you use it for before you decided it wasn't working.I am on my second week and my breathing is still worse than when i used fostair.

I used it for two and a half weeks , thinking it may take a while to kick in , but my breathing just got so much worse so I called my Gp to ask for fostair back , which he did with no problem . Take care 🤗🤗

I have been using it for a couple of months (100/6 - 4 puffs a day ) and I've gone from breathless all the time, congestion and bad fatigue to being almost 100% fit. I feel I have my life back. I'm so grateful to my asthma nurse for changing me to it. I was very nervous about taking it because I read about people having side effects etc and I seem to get a lot with meds but for me it is really great.
